Being bald myself in real life, I'm happy to inhabit an entire world of baldies. I hope this weird bug remains part of survival mode, though. I'm afraid to go look for Dogmeat as he might be hairless as well. When I climb out of my power armor a bit later, I notice my character is also bald. It's hard not to notice that for some reason she is completely bald, however. With me is my companion Curie, in human form, and she's apparently in the mood to flirt with me. Turns out I'm at The Castle, one of Preston Garvey's many, many, many goddamn settlement locations.

I haven't played Fallout 4 in while, so I experienced the old "Where the hell am I?" feeling when loading up my last save. You can read all the details here, and I'll go over more of them as they come up. You need to eat, drink, and rest or suffer fatigue which lowers your immunity and eventually damages your health. Your adrenaline increases the more kills you get, but sleeping lowers your adrenaline levels. If you want to save your game, you have to find an available bed and get some sleep. Here's the basics of the new survival mode, which is in beta: no more fast-travel, no more manual saves, and even most auto-saves are disabled (which I personally think is stupid, but we'll get to that).
